Bringing a classic synthesizer back to life is always a massive undertaking that Behringer want to do right. The SOLINA STRING ENSEMBLE is one such classic. Behringer have worked hard to authentically reproduce this iconic ‘70s analog synthesizer to bring it into the hands of modern musicians.
The Behringer SOLINA STRING ENSEMBLE features violin, viola, trumpet, horn, cello and contrabass instruments as well as controls for tuning, crescendo, bass and volume just like the original revision B. It achieves its iconic multi-orchestral sounds through divide-down technology albeit in a more compact enclosure you can easily integrate into your setup.
Within the SOLINA STRING ENSEMBLE, Behringer have integrated a multi-stage Bucket Brigade chorus that closely replicates the original modulation sound. To add to that, Behringer just had to add, not just any phaser, but a faithfully recreated Small Stone phaser with its own dedicated rate control.
Apart from a classic revival, Behringer wanted you to be able to integrate the SOLINA STRING ENSEMBLE into your setup quickly and easily which is why it comes with comprehensive MIDI implementation, channel and voice priority selection, as well as modulation outputs.
The SOLINA STRING ENSEMBLE is designed to fit into a standard Eurorack case. Just connect the power cables to the power supply and mount the module using the included screws. This allows you to combine other synth modules with the SOLINA STRING ENSEMBLE for a truly unique set up.
Linear, logarithmic and exponential, the SOLINA STRING ENSEMBLE from Behringer is an amazing synth that opens up so many possibilities!
